A Metaphor Of Epic Proportions

Diana Nemeh wrote in the Daily Star that Minister Ziad Baroud is the Napoleon of Lebanese traffic:

Just like our Lebanese ministers today, Napoleon carried his selfishness so far that it was not easy to persuade him on any issue that did not concern himself. Napoleon was also responsible for the bloodshed on the battlefield while Baroud is also being held responsible for the bloodshed on the battlefield of traffic we face every day. When Baroud became minister in 2008, one of the first things on his agenda was to ease the burden of traffic, yet, here we are in 2010 and traffic has become quite the epidemic keeping Lebanon with a record for the worst traffic and accidents in the Arab world.

Oh and they’re both short guys..
